I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: For Survival

With just the blink of an eye, the Immortal King’s figure had already crossed a distance of several dozen meters, arriving in front of Gongshu De, the sudden meeting of their eyes causing an uncontrollable look of surprise to surface on Gongshu De’s face.

As expected of the Immortal King, to possess such terrifying speed.

Not a trace of Divine Power or the fluctuation of Taichu emanated from him, nor even the fluctuation of Source Power, making it impossible for Gongshu De to discern whether the Immortal King’s speed was purely natural or if he used some sort of displacement skill similar to Lin Yi’s "Light and Shadow Interweaving."

Realizing he was face-to-face with the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths, the world’s known strongest, and the very culprit behind the annihilation of life on his home planet, Gongshu De couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat quicken, his breathing becoming rapid.

The Immortal King’s gaze was sharp, locking onto Gongshu De, engulfing him in the feeling of being completely seen through.

"What’s the matter, Gongshu De, are you very afraid of me?"

The Immortal King’s voice was somewhat icy, so cold that it heightened the pressure on Gongshu De significantly.

If not for Lin Yi previously preparing him with what might happen, and Mr. Gongsu talking him through it, Gongshu De might have truly broken down.

"Afraid, very afraid."

Gongshu De nodded, speaking earnestly.

In that instant, the Immortal King found himself somewhat on the back foot, ready to question why Gongshu De was so uneasy in his presence if there was nothing to hide.

Unexpectedly, Gongshu De simply and justifiably admitted his inner thoughts.

"Immortal King, as the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths, who with just one order, annihilated my hometown Blue Star, your presence, who wouldn’t fear it? Even though I have the fortune to stand before you today, I must still fear you."

"Keeping a constant sense of reverence is the only way to discipline myself well, not to make wrong choices."

Goodness! The Immortal King couldn’t help but praise inwardly.

There was no shortage of intelligence on Mr. Gongsu, yet never had it been heard that Mr. Gongsu’s character was like this; according to the informant’s intelligence, Mr. Gongsu usually carried a haughty demeanor.

The Immortal King nodded with satisfaction, then changed his tone:

"Gongshu De, don’t you think your flattery is a bit excessive? Do you think this suits your character? Is this something you should be saying, do these words fit your personality?"

Such questioning to Ha Yu seemed an aggressive interrogation.

Fortunately, Mr. Gongsu’s emotional intelligence was high enough, his responses and explanations fully coherent.

"You’re jesting, Lord Immortal King, when out and about, identity is self-proclaimed, isn’t it? Regardless of my past persona, I should sing the song of wherever I stand, don’t you think?"

"As for the planet’s destruction, one can only say the survival of the fittest under natural selection, right? You knew I survived without intending to kill me, even gave me a chance to serve you, I shouldn’t dwell on past matters, right? After all, nearly ten thousand years have passed."

Mr. Gongsu’s answer left the Immortal King quite pleased.

All the talk about completely letting go of hatred and just wanting to serve the Immortal King loyally were all nonsense.

Instead, this frank response reassured the Immortal King even more.

Mr. Gongsu admitted outright, he wasn’t some high-minded hero, he knew his place, before absolute power, the only path to survival was submission, no other way.

Willingly being someone’s lackey for survival is plainly more persuasive than any other reason.

With Gongshu De’s responses, the Immortal King was thoroughly reassured.

He didn’t even bother to examine Mr. Gongsu’s memory.

He readily granted the pre-prepared Enhancement Master emblem.

This emblem was far from simple.

With the Immortal King, it was unique.

Possessing this emblem was tantamount to having a position of a cadre.

In the future, Mr. Gongsu within the Immortal King’s faction could be considered a person of power and influence.

"This emblem is your pass throughout the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, with it, others will immediately know your identity, know you are mine, saying it can guarantee your safety would not be an exaggeration."

Besides the specific emblem given, the Immortal King also prepared specialized accommodation for Mr. Gongsu.

In addition to servants, there was a dedicated workshop for enhancement specifically set for Mr. Gongsu’s use.

This workshop was exceptionally refined.

Besides the workshop, he also established a warehouse for Mr. Gongsu.

This warehouse was no simple thing, akin to a personal space, not very large but of astonishing capacity, stocked with various rare materials.

If one wishes to perform their duties well, they must first sharpen their tools, the Immortal King did not want Mr. Gongsu to lack anything while working, extending his deadlines.

Compared to the Divine Refining Bureau on Blue Star, it’s much smaller.

Why would the Immortal King create such a modest workspace for Mr. Gongsu? Because Mr. Gongsu’s client was only the Immortal King.

The Immortal King went to great lengths in doing all this, seemingly just to enhance his Fu Xi Talisman to +100 Enhancement Level.

After completing these tasks, Gongshu De first went to the accommodation the Immortal King arranged for him, then inspected his workshop.

It must be said, the Immortal King prepared everything comprehensively, nothing lacking, Mr. Gongsu could start work immediately.

Mr. Gongsu wasn’t one for dallying.

After Lin Yi handed him the Fu Xi Talisman, it took him less than two weeks to successfully enhance it to +99 level.

Once that was completed, Mr. Gongsu’s task left was solely to break through the final enhancement level.

Claiming a top-tier External Divine Artifact with a +99 level and a +100 Enhancement Level are entirely different matters is no exaggeration at all.

Before reaching the +100 Enhancement Level, Divine River Song couldn’t replicate and match the user’s attributes, nor utilize skills with the avatar.

Once reaching the +100 level, it completely transforms.

Lin Yi hadn’t been idle during this period.

Successfully bringing Mr. Gongsu back pleased the Immortal King greatly.

So, he gave Lin Yi several days off to rest thoroughly.

During this rest, Lin Yi didn’t remain idle.

While in the Upper Plane, Lin Yi got along with the All Gods rather harmoniously, the relationships go without saying.

He sought to learn about the specific location of the Nuwa Spirit Secret Realm from other Upper-Rank Gods.

Unfortunately, too few knew about the Nuwa Spirit Secret Realm, of the Divine Beings who participated in the treasure competition that day, only an unremarkable one returned alive.

As for where the survivor went, no one knew.

Just as Lin Yi felt stuck in finding the specific location of the replica, he encountered someone.

A person who saved him from dire situations multiple times — Zacks.

Or perhaps, he should call him by his real name.
